Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday.

  But 1 day of me not getting my work done isnt going to do a thing. Its a LOT more effective if people stop buying shit altogether from any corporate store as long as they can.

    This mentality is why your worker right in the US are fucking attrocious.

      Imo id respect someone more who set up local groups to start learning more about tech literacy and opposing the techocracy, rather than just skipping work and sitting at home.

      The reason our rights are shit is because people would rather live with that then be homeless. No one here is going to strike with you. It would take all of Amazon to strike to make a difference. I think something more direct, like congregating outside of every politicians house and making their lives hell, would be much more effective than a strike against my employer who is one of the best in the region.
